UK-based AI firm will work with ARC founders Collin Reno and Ivo Fischer to expand US presence
Virtually Parkinson producer Deep Fusion Films is partnering with advisory firm ARC Partners to expand its AI operations in the US.
The arrangement is described as a “strategic management partnership” and will see UK-based AI firm Deep Fusion working with ARC Partners - led by New York-based Collin Reno and Ivo Fischer in LA – to expand their respective collaborative networks Stateside.
The two companies will build strategic relationships with buyers and production partners, with an aim to bolster Deep Fusion’s position in the market concerning AI policy, ethics, and legislation.
ARC Partners has traditionally provided management and advisory services to US and UK studios, branded entertainment companies, production firms, and creative talent.
Reno, founder and partner at ARC Partners, said Deep Fusion’s “blend of creativity and innovation aligns perfectly with our expertise in guiding clients through change and building strategic partnerships.”
He added: “Together, we’re focused on supporting Deep Fusion’s ambitious initiatives, unlocking new opportunities, and thoughtfully shaping the future of content in an evolving media landscape.”
Benjamin Field, co-founder and chief exec at Deep Fusion, added that the partnership is part of a strategy “to work with people who see a different way of working within the traditional landscape - people who are not afraid to break with tradition to forge a new pathway.”
“Field continued: “I’ve known Ivo for a couple of years and have huge respect for the way both he and Collin think. I’m genuinely excited to be partnering with ARC as we continue to build something meaningful at the intersection of media and responsible AI.”
Deep Fusion was launched in 2023 and made headlines last year with its AI-driven podcast featuring the voice of the late Sir Michael Parkinson.
The company launched dubbing service Deep Fusion Technologies in May and announced its first product release, Verbl, while recent hires include Obinna Emmanuel Obi-Akwari and the addition of former ITV/BBC development executive Charissa Coulthard shape unscripted formats.
